It was T/E due to the nature of the car; the final price included parts. Throughout the whole process we made Sajed aware of the rising costs, we had to stop when Sajed said he has no money left for the job. He said he will store the car for a bit and then continue. The car was in extremely poor condition and not an ideal canidate for a swap. His car was full of junk parts/tools/bolts inside and out. We did the job because we wanted to try to help Sajed out. > > We have imported very nice cars and have done quality work on the motors. We have many SR’s and RB’s to attest to that; including my personal EVO X build up. > > I’m sorry it this happened; but we believe we were fair and upfront with Sajed. Almost everyday we met/spoke with Sajed discussing the swap and issues. We agreed to take responsibility for any errors on our part, but not for the motor as we refused to put it in. To be clear, the message was we will do the swap; but we cannot be responsible for the outcome because we are advising the car is not in a good condition to do the swap nor is the motor. > > My post on GTRC was a rant on how Skyline GTR’s once deemed prestige cars were slowly becoming ricer cars. I’ve owned S14’s since 1997 and have respect for them, however there are a lot of bad 240’s out there that shouldn’t be on the road. This is nothing new. > > Anyhow this is fodder for SON, the internet, and e-thugs will come out of anywhere and try to flip words, hearsay facts etc.,Those who know us first hand know better… I am disappointed Sajed took this route after all this. Then why did you perform the swap? If you cant give the job a garantee of the work being done properly you shouldnt be doing the work at all. If the wiring harness was all messed up he should have replaced it its about 150$ for an uncut one. Other then that with all the fair warnings you gave sajed he should have looked else where to get it done, But he didnt he choose to let you do the swap. Another note you didnt do anyone a favor by doing a swap like this. I can do a better job with my eyes closed. Thats just a lack of respect for customers who dont have 10k to spend on big motor builds and swaps. point finale you messed up, give the guy some of his money back or fix the job so that it runs properly none of this hackjob i live in Jason Vorhee’s basement shit. Get it done right despite problems that may occure during the instalation --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/onijdm-swap-issue/126570)._
